Although Vasily didn't know exactly how many enemies came to the village, judging from the intensive gunfire, there must be a lot of German troops. The landlady's tears made Vasily's courage melt away as quickly as snow under the sun. He hurriedly closed the door, clenched his pistol, and leaned against the wall with the landlady, nervously looking out the window, fearing that some Germans would find this place by mistake.
The battle that was probably taking place in the barn at this moment had entered a feverish state. Due to the fierce firepower of the German army, the soldiers who rushed out of the barn were suppressed to the ground by the hail of bullets. As soon as they raised their heads to fight back, the bullets flying from the opposite direction hit the snowdrift in front of them, and the splashed mud and snow powder collapsed on the ground. On their faces and heads, the soldiers could not open their eyes. They could only extend the gun in their hands forward, lower their heads and slightly raise their wrists, pull the trigger based on feeling, and shoot in vain at the opposite side. Rather than fighting back, it is more accurate to say that it is to embolden their courage.
The machine gun that was originally in the ruins of a nearby house could still attract German firepower, but it became mute at some point, allowing the Germans to turn more firepower over and continue to rely on their superior firepower against those with inferior firepower. Soviet troops suppressed.
Lin Hua, who was hiding behind a tree stump, noticed that the machine gun had not fired. He quickly shook his head to shake off all the snow powder that fell on his military cap, and then shouted at the top of his lungs: "Seryosa, Seryosa, Where did you die?"
Seryosha, who was hiding not far away, heard Lin Hua's shout and confirmed his location. He quickly rolled a few times on the spot and rolled to Lin Hua's side. He asked loudly: "Misha, what are you doing?" What's up?"
Lin Hua pointed at the location with his hand and said loudly to Seryosha: "Seryosa, the machine gun there may be out of bullets. Send him ammunition quickly."
In order to prevent being hit by German bullets, Seryosha did not get up when he went to the barn, but rolled on the spot and entered the barn. After finding a box of ammunition in the corner, he climbed out of the barn on hands and knees and crawled toward the machine gun position. Only when he climbed into the ruins of the house did he understand why the machine gun stopped firing. It turned out that not only had all the bullets been fired, but also the machine gun shooter had died.
The deputy shooter, whose arm was wounded, sat in the corner and had his wound bandaged. When I saw Seryozha dragging a box of bullets in, my eyes lit up. I didn't bother to continue dressing the wounds, but asked excitedly: "Seryozha, you brought me ammunition!"
Seryosha put down his ammunition and prepared to go over and bandage the wound of the deputy shooter. But the deputy shooter waved his hand, stood up and walked to the ammunition box, bent down to open the box, took out a round bullet disc, placed it on the gun body skillfully, and then placed the machine gun on the blackened window frame. He pulled the trigger decisively.
Seeing that the Soviet troops were suppressed by his own firepower and unable to raise their heads, Frank raised his hand and waved forward, signaling the surrounding soldiers to press forward and kill all the Soviet troops on the opposite side. Several soldiers immediately came out of their hiding places. They put their submachine guns against their abdomens, bent over, and rushed forward quickly. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a "ta-da-da" sound suddenly came from the side, and the machine gun firepower point that had been silent for a long time suddenly came to life. The German soldiers did not even hum, and fell like rice that had been cut down. On the ground.
The German army had to allocate some of its firepower to suppress the Soviet machine gun fire points. While the two sides were fighting inextricably, a ball of fire suddenly erupted where the German troops were hiding, and then there was an explosion. The German soldiers near the explosion point were lifted up from the ground by the air waves, thrown into the air, and then Fall down hard.
Lin Hua, who was hiding behind the tree stump, couldn't help but be startled when he saw this situation. He thought to himself: What is going on? Who threw the grenade? It is as powerful as a mortar.
Just as he thought of this, another explosion came from the German hiding place. With the firelight of the explosion, several Germans could be seen being blown to pieces.
"Comrade platoon leader," Andre, who was lying not far from Lin Hua, shouted excitedly: "It's a tank gun. It's our tank firing. Our reinforcements are coming!" Lin Hua turned around and saw a A T-34 tank was driving slowly along the road between the villages from the east of the village. Behind it were many soldiers wearing white camouflage uniforms.
Seeing the arrival of Soviet reinforcements, the German machine guns and submachine guns immediately turned their muzzles and started shooting at the tanks. Although the bullets hit the tank's armor plate like hail, they could not cause any decent damage. The Soviet tank still maintained its original speed and approached.
Perhaps it was the crazy shooting of the German army that angered the Soviet tank driver. He stopped the tank, aimed at the German hiding place and fired another shot. After the explosion, the German shooting almost stopped completely. Upon seeing this, Lin Hua jumped up from the ground, raised the rifle in his hand high above his head, and shouted: "Comrades, charge!"
The battle ended after twenty minutes. Several captured German soldiers stood on the roadside with their hands raised. A Soviet captain came over and asked loudly to the soldiers of the garrison platoon: "Who is the commander here?"
Lin Hua quickly stepped out of the queue and raised his hand to salute him: "Comrade Captain, I am Sergeant Sokov, the commander of the garrison platoon. We were attacked by the German army. If you hadn't arrived in time, we would have been completely destroyed."
The captain shook hands with Lin Hua and said, "Comrade Sergeant, the division commander ordered our company to come for reinforcements. Without the assistance of the tank soldiers, it is estimated that the battle would not have been resolved so quickly. How about it, did you suffer heavy casualties?"
Although there was no time to count the specific casualties, Lin Hua still knew that more than half of the soldiers in the garrison platoon had been lost. He replied with a wry smile: "It is estimated that there are more than 20 people dead and injured."
The captain nodded after hearing this, "It's really not easy for you to be able to hold on for such a long time when you were attacked by the Germans." Then he pointed at the prisoners next to him and said, "What should we do with these prisoners?"
"Comrade Captain," Lin Hua said magnanimously when he saw that there were seven captured German soldiers, including an officer, and he only had about ten people left. It was inconvenient to take care of these prisoners, "These prisoners are just Leave it all to you!"
After the captain's troops escorted the prisoners away, Asiya appeared out of nowhere covered in blood. Seeing her like this, Lin Hua couldn't help being startled, and quickly asked with concern: "Asiya, what's wrong with you, are you injured?"
Asiya shook her head and said: "This is not my blood, it is the blood of the wounded and sacrificed soldiers." As soon as she said this, she suddenly saw blood seeping out of Lin Hua's left arm, and she couldn't help but exclaimed, "You are hurt?"
Lin Hua looked down at his left arm and found that he had been hit by a bullet at some point. He moved his arm and found that although the wound was still bleeding, he could move freely, so no bones should have been injured, so he said disapprovingly: "It's okay, it's just a scratch."
Asiya quickly helped Lin Hua take off his military coat and began to bandage his wounds. While the wound was being bandaged, Lin Hua looked around to see who was still alive: deputy platoon leader Andre was alive, the three squad leaders were also alive, and even Kristoff and Oleg were alive.
Lin Hua looked at it and suddenly remembered that he had not seen Second Lieutenant Vasily for so long. This was his immediate boss. If he had any shortcomings, he would also be in trouble. He quickly shouted to Andrei: "Hey, Andrei, have you seen Second Lieutenant Vasily?"
"No." Andrei shook his head and turned to ask the other three squad leaders: "Have you seen Second Lieutenant Vasily?"
The three of them also shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they did not see Vasily.
"Then what are you doing here?" Hearing that no one saw Second Lieutenant Vasily, Lin Hua became even more worried. He was deeply afraid that the other party had been poisoned by the Germans, so he quickly ordered: "Hurry up and look for him everywhere. Looking for people, if you want to see them alive, if you want to see them dead, you want to see their corpses."
"Don't move, I'm still bandaging the wound." Seeing Lin Hua dancing with excitement, Asiya quickly grabbed his arm and bandaged the wound for him.
When everyone dispersed to search for the missing Vasily, Lin Hua looked at the house where Vasily lived in the distance, thinking to himself: He would not hear the Germans rushing into the village, and he had been hiding in the house without daring to come out. Bar? But he quickly overturned his thinking: No, Vasily has fought in many battles, and he would never be so scared to hide in the house and dare not come out when he saw a few Germans. It must be I think too much.
